Uncle's Love: My Sweet Little Wife
Chapter 143 The Way He Comforted Her

"James, how could someone like you, who doesn't even care about your parents, have someone you like?" Eli roared.

"Kara lost her parents, and the Quains don't like her. She is such a poor girl, and you still use her for the sake of benefits. Aren't you a heartless person?"

When Kara was toasting tea and Keely wanted to say something, James quickly changed the topic and gave her no chance to speak.

In Eli 's eyes, James was a cold, ruthless, sinister person who would do anything for his own interests.

"Or are you jealous that I replace a woman I love, so you want to steal her from me?"

"I'm jealous of you?"

James had heard of many ridiculous things. The corners of his lips curled up, and he disdainfully looked at Eli.

James had a good relationship with his father, so he had always taken care of Eli since they were a child.

His cousin, Eli, was spoiled by his family but was very smart. He had led a smooth life since he was a child. So now when he encountered some difficulties, he would blame others but not himself. If he had not fallen in love with Kara, and as an elder of Kara, he definitely wouldn't allow Kara to be with this kind of man!

Eli saw the disdainful look on James's face, he felt as if a knife had been stabbed in his heart.

He knew he was jealous of James.

James had always been arrogant, so how could he be jealous of anyone!

When Kara woke up, she found herself lying on a strange bed and jerked up the quilt.

Only when she got up and stood by the bed did she realize that she was now in the Hemming's. She was in James's old bedroom.

She went to the bathroom to tidy up her clothes and walked around the room for a while before leaving. When she walked to the stairs on the second floor, she met a familiar woman.

It was Emma.

Kara did not want to see Emma, but it was inevitable that she would meet her more in the future. So she politely nodded to Emma, but unexpectedly, Emma blocked her way to downstairs. Kara took a step back, trying to avoid her, but was still blocked by Emma.

"Great barkers are no biters. Haven't you heard of it?"

"What a sharp-tongued girl, acting like an innocent white rabbit in front of my cousin. You are really good at acting!" Emma mocked.

Kara replied with a smile, "Thank you for your compliment. Don't envy me. Go practice your acting skills first before chatting with me."

"You," Emma was annoyed, "You shameless slut, first you seduced Eli, now you hook up with James, who knows how many men you have played with?"

Kara took a deep breath and stared at her coldly.

"Emma, you are here to say these meaningless things to me?"

"Meaningless? How dare you! If I tell grandma that you have already hooked up with Eli before your engagement with James, what would my grandma think of you?" Emma's grandmother was Zoey.

Kara clenched her fists. She obviously did not have that kind of relationship with Eli, but if Emma told these nonsense words to Zoey, it would definitely not be good for her.

If Zoey hated her, at worst, she would not allow her to be the granddaughter-in-law of the Hemmings. This was what she wanted.

However, this would damage James's reputation, so she couldn't bear it.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Emma had been waiting for her to say this, thinking that she had hit the sore spot of Kara, she was very proud.

"If you don't want your bad reputation spread to others' ears, then give me the red packets given by the elders. You are not worthy of them!"

Staring at the hand that Emma held out to her, Kara raised her eyebrows. It turned out that she was doing it for money.

"But that was also the best wishes the elders gave me. If I gave them to you, I will be blamed," Kara said.

"If you don't tell anyone, who would know that you gave me the red packets?" Emma sneered.

Seeing that she was very hesitant, Emma was so impatient and warned coldly.

"If you don't give the red packets to me, I will tell grandma now and let everyone see your true colors!" "No, I'll give them to you."

Kara had no choice but to take out the red packets from her bag and give them to Emma.

Emma hold the red packets happily, and then warmed Kara again before going downstairs.

As Kara looked at Emma's arrogant attitude, the corner of her mouth stiffly twitched.

At this moment, Lily, who opened the door, coldly stared at the two women walking downstairs with contempt.

"How Mr. James could be engaged to such a woman!"

Jenny, who was standing beside Lily, glared angrily at Kara's back, seemingly wanting to shoot an arrow on her back.

Seeing Jenny's angry face, Lily smiled and comforted her, "She is only engaged to James, not married him. Jenny, you still have a chance."

Lily was Marcos's daughter, the lady of the Hemmings, and also James's cousin.

With Lily's encouragement, Jenny's face eased up a bit and flushed.

"Lily, do you really think I can win Mr. James's heart?"

"Well, in my eyes, the woman who is most suitable for my cousin is you. Jenny, you have loved James for so many years and you are the most qualified woman to stand beside him. Don't be discouraged, I support you!" Lily said excitedly.

James's handsome face appeared in Jenny's mind. He was so tall and straight. From the moment she saw him, she fell in love with him immediately.

Although the news of Mr. James's engagement hurt her hard, now after hearing Lily's words, she thought she was full of energy again.

"Lily, you are so nice. I also believe that Mr. James is my man!"

Lily raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Then should I call you sister-in-law in advance?"

Jenny was in a good mood. She shyly hugged Lily's arm and asked her not to laugh at her.

"Sister-in-law, now I will take you to see my cousin." Lily took her downstairs.

When Jenny thought of seeing James, her eyes lit up, and she walked downstairs excitedly.

But in order to maintain a posture as a lady, she suppressed the excitement and slowly followed Lily downstairs. When the two arrived downstairs, they felt that the atmosphere was weird.

It turned out that this was the case.

After Kara went downstairs and saw that James was playing chess with his uncle, she walked to his side.

James glanced at her. His hand dropped naturally and held her hand affectionately. Kara also turned to look at him and grabbed his pinky. But soon, she let go and calmed down.

It was their tacit understanding.

It was hard to talk to each other here, so James comforted her in another way to let her relax.

Feeling comforted by him, Kara felt grateful and grabbed his little finger.

"Kara, why do you stick to my cousin like this? He won't run here." Emma said disdainfully after seeing them acting like this.

Kara frowned, but didn't want to say anything. She just quietly watched James play chess.

Seeing that she was pretending to be deaf, Emma felt like a clown making trouble and felt even more angry.

Suddenly, she felt James's cold gaze sweep over her. Emma's entire body stiffened, and she subconsciously shrank her neck.

Kara raised her head and glanced at Emma. She sneered in her heart. So Emma was the kind of person who was bullying the weak and fearing the strong!

Noticing that there was no tea in the tea pot, she thought that since she was James's fiancee, she should do something for him, so she took the tea pot and went to add some hot tea. Emma saw that she was about to leave, feeling very wronged.

She turned to look at Eli, whose eyes were red, walking towards them. She was scheming something.

She took two steps forward, and as Kara walked past her, she stretched out her foot.

Kara did not expect that Emma would trip her. Seeing Eli walk towards her, she panicked and wrapped the teapot in her arms.

In order not to cause any misunderstanding, she would rather fall down and not let Eli help her.

As her body leaned forward uncontrollably, she gritted her teeth and looked at Emma's pocket. She seized the opportunity to grab it.

Emma turned around and saw the red packets falling on the ground. She was flustered and picked them up, trying to stuff them into her pocket.

But it was too late.
